Q. The volume of a given mass of gas is 20 L at 20°C under a pressure of 5 pascals. What will be the volume of the gas at the same temperature (20°C) when the pressure is reduced to 2 pascals?
Solution:
Given:
To Find: Final volume (V₂)
Using Boyle’s Law:
P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂
Substitute the values:
5 × 20 = 2 × V₂
100 = 2 × V₂
V₂ = 100 / 2 = 50 L
Answer: The final volume of the gas is 50 liters.
